Ben and I began a stint of healthy eating on Monday January 2^nd, as I am sure many Americans did.  I do not really mind this as there are many healthy things I love to eat.  When we go on these kicks my contribution to my body is to try to cut out white flour based items, minimize processed foods, and cut out all white and processed sugar.  I also try to keep around 1600 calories per day.  One thing I never stop eating is cheese.  I do not go low fat or fat free on cheese.  I eat whatever cheese I want!  Hard, soft, creamy, you name it!  I do try to keep my cheese to 1-2 oz. per day though.

Enough about that, what I really wanted to write about in this particular post is our last two suppers. Not one last supper on the night of January 1^st, but two last suppers.  We indulged in one last supper on the Dec 31^st2011 and one last supper on Jan 1^st 2012.  We tried to get it all in, everything we thought we would miss over the following months.

Now there were more items than I am writing about here.  I am only writing about the items I actually prepared.  There were many store bought processed items we indulged in during those two days.  Included in the decadent last days was: More Molten Lave Burgers (filled with an array of cheeses), Chocolate Cookie dough Cupcakes, a Trio of Steaks (one rib eye, one NY strip, and one tenderloin) finished with crumbled Gorgonzola, and Spaghetti Carbonara.  Oh, and Garlic and Brie! This dish took me to nearly 200 lbs. at one point in my life (along with gallons of red wine)!  I used to eat it every weekend, and would allow Ben only tiny bites! It is hard to describe my love for brie. I could eat it with a spoon, and I have!   I wish there were more, but there is only so much two humans can consume in two days.  Trust me, I know.

I did not have recipes for any of these items except for the cupcakes, but I will list ingredients I used and try to remember amounts.
